2 Being in the thick of things. With the help of a team Every wheelchair user dreams of freedom and independence. One person may want to get back to work; another one may want to be able to get the housework done with less help. For children the biggest wish is often to be able to play and learn with friends and schoolmates. Power wheelchair controls adapted to the individual user's needs contribute greatly to achieving this freedom. These controls can open up an entire new world for the user the world of work, for example, by enabling access to the computer and the telephone. Specialist dealers, therapists, medical product manufacturers and of course the user and his or her family members all contribute knowledge about the individual abilities and needs that are decisive for fitting the patient. "Manufacturers, therapists, specialist dealers and users work closely together. Something always comes up with the controls and has to be looked at." Kay Hannemann, Medical Product Consultant in a medical supply store 2 Ottobock Special Controls

3 At Ottobock we offer you innovative and individual components. That is our task in the fitting process. We give you practical solutions for special controls. They can be fine-tuned to meet the needs and the motor skills of each user. The user has precise control over the wheelchair with the enable50 software and display. The menu features intuitive navigation. Nearby devices such as telephones and computers can also be controlled. The enable50 offers up to four standard interfaces. Our fitting managers and service technicians are available for you. They can provide advice and assistance during the fitting process and beyond. Participating as an equal partner at school, at work or in your leisure time. Being in the thick of things and experiencing self-determination and freedom. This should be possible for everyone. Ottobock Special Controls 3

4 With hand, chin, foot or lips According to capabilities Each user places his or her own demands on the control. If operation of standard controls is not possible, special controls can be used. We offer various input devices for this. Thus the user can use his or her chin, lips or foot for control. The team of specialist dealers, therapists, users, family members and medical product manufacturers determines together which control is most suitable given the motor skills of the user. Maximum table utilisation, minimum space restrictions below tray through innovative swing-away mechanism. Can compensate sudden strong forces through programmable working range. Minimum force required, calibration by user possible at any time. Electric swing-away centre tray control Heavy duty Joystick Calibratable Mini joystick Input control with small steering movements recommended for chin control. Due to its small size it can be placed anywhere. Control device can be positioned to meet individual requirements, usable not only as a handheld input device. Calibratable Midi joystick Mini-Joystick Joystick For comfortable actuation of electric adjustments and further functions, irrespective of driving mode. For individual placement, with different actuation forces and for different function layouts. All functions can be controlled via the foot pedal. The cruise control provides relief to the user. Push-button module External push buttons Foot control Electric swivel unit in conjunction with Midi/Mini joystick for chin or lip control. Minimal swivel radius. For use by wheelchair user or attendant with numerous possible variations. Swivel unit Stand alone Joystick

5 "It's important that all partners support each other in the fitting process. The wheelchair should be as unique as the user is. The goal is mobility and hence the controls are also involved." André Illgen, Ottobock Mobility Solutions Fitting Manager enable50: software and display You can't get more individualised. As a specialist dealer you can use the innovative enable50 software to customise the setup of the control. The more the software is adapted to the needs and abilities of the user the easier it is for the user to carry out daily activities. He or she can then concentrate on other things: work, social contacts, hobbies. The enable50 provides a means for precisely adapting driving parameters to the respective wheelchair. It also offers more precise adaptation to motor skills than any other control software. For example, you can increase the sensitivity of the input module, reducing the amount of force that needs to be exerted by the user to move the wheelchair. Another example: as a specialist dealer you can define the intensity of joystick swivel in each direction by means of the X and Y axes. This is helpful if the user exhibits weakness in a particular swivel direction, i.e. greater difficulties in moving the joystick in a particular direction. The result: extremely precise manoeuvring. What else does the software offer? Freely programmable outputs for activation of the various functions. These functions are shown on a clearly structured, high-resolution colour display. The display can be custom-positioned on the wheelchair. Via the input device the user can select menu items, set driving functions, make seat adjustments and control various devices in the vicinity by means of various interfaces. Mobility of input module individually adjustable Colour display position freely selectable Numerous functions for making daily live easier and improving quality of life Ottobock Special Controls 5

6 enable50: the controls one menu, many functions The enable50 menu can be navigated intuitively. It only uses symbols, enabling the 52 functions to be displayed quickly. The menu structure is customisable. Main menu Provides direct access to the driving functions, additional functions, favourites and system shutoff. System shutoff can be replaced by other functions upon request. Favourites STOP System shutoff Driving functions Additional functions Favourites Selection of the seven most popular and most commonly used functions for fast and comfortable activation. Freely programmable by user. Driving functions Fast and clear display of all relevant parameters including distance, battery, time and cruise control. 6 Ottobock Special Controls

8 "The goal of fitting is to make daily live as stress-free and nontiring as possible." André Illgen, Ottobock Mobility Solutions Fitting Manager Infrared, Bluetooth and radio modules Keeping the environment under control A special feature of the enable50 is its ability to control devices in the vicinity via Bluetooth, infrared and radio interfaces. This can help the user achieve independence and actively participate in social activities. The ability to control telephones and computers opens up new possibilities for the user for example with respect to work. In addition, air-conditioning units, socket-outlets, lamps, shutters, doors, garage doors, TVs, stereo systems, beds and calling of emergency services can be controlled at home. Finally, recreational activities such as control of a PlayStation or toy car, among other things, are possible. Children in particular can make friends, play and learn with other children of the same age through electronic toys and benefit from the positive therapeutic effects due to the training of hand-eye coordination through operation of the input modules. This training through play helps children gain confidence in using their wheelchairs. 8 Ottobock Special Controls

12 We're here to support you. Our controls are so innovative because they can be adjusted individually. This also means that they offer a large number of possibilities. We can assist you in all stages of the fitting process to help you make the best use of these possibilities. We also offer workshops.
